Free homemade muffin and a hot drink included in your ticket! After visiting the Ngātoroirangi Māori Rock Carvings, our crew will give a trout fishing demonstration by setting some fishing lines and talking about the various fishing options allowed on Lake Taupo. You might not be aware of this, but you can’t buy trout at any restaurant, so the only way to taste trout is to catch it yourself (or let us catch it for you). Don’t miss the opportunity of experiencing a ‘Taste of Taupo’, so book yourself on our trip today!
